CITY SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETES IMPROVEMENTS ON ROUTE 9 FROM HIGHWAY 45 TO LAKEVIEW DRIVE
The City of Parkville substantially completed improvements to Route 9 from Highway 45 to Lakeview Drive, including a new sidewalk that connects to Main Street. The project was a multi-year, large-scale project that added street improvements, trails, sidewalks, lighting, and a traffic signal.
The Route 9 Improvements Project began with the Route 9 Corridor Study, adopted in January 2016, that identified important transportation concerns, specifically the need for Complete Street improvements along Route 9 to improve safety, mobility, stormwater management, and multimodal accessibility. The improvements from Route 45 to Lakeview Drive represented the first three of the twelve segments.
Mayor Dean Katerndahl said, “The City is excited that the improvements have been substantially completed. It has greatly improved vehicular traffic through the community and includes design elements that enhance aesthetics and pedestrian movements. We are currently seeking funding opportunities for future phases.”
Route 9 has also seen other improvements within the corridor, including improvements to:
· the entryway sign at the eastern edge of Park University;
· the stone pillars on the east side of White Alloe Creek as you enter downtown;
· new streetlights with banner brackets in front of Park University and the train depot; and
· the intersection at 6th Street.
For more information about these projects, contact Public Works Director Alysen Abel at (816) 741-7676.
